This has become my go-to lunch spot. It’s great for studying or relaxing between classes and it’s never too packed. The food hasn’t disappointed me once. Highly reccomend for anybody wanting something different!

This place was like an oasis! Amazing vegetarian and healthy food options. I especially loved their smoothies (the “open your mind” was a fave), açaí bowls, and.. I LOVED the “romantic” toasty wrap (cheese, broccoli, avocado, garlic— such a divine combo). It’s a great place for every meal! The staff were so patient and friendly too.

Having spent the whole holiday eating lobster and rich food, this was a breath of fresh air. I had ‘the adventurer’ which was one of the nicest salads I’ve ever had. Family had various avocado /green salads that they thoroughly enjoyed. Smoothie/coolers also very good. Felt much better having eaten this for lunch and was able to resume normal service of eating posh nosh and pudding that evening.

I looooved this place. I had the Swami Bowl, and added whipped sweet potato. I also had a Rainbow Nori Wrap, with a Strawberry Bliss Smoothie. Everything is always fresh, and service is always helpful and friendly.

Life Alive is a seat yourself restaurant. You wait in line to order your food. There are menus you can grab by the register or you can use the overhead menu to order. I didn’t want the tofu in my Rainbow Bowl and asked that it be left out and switched for avocado. Unfortunately, the person at the register seemed a bit overwhelmed and neglected to add that detail and it was missed. I could have said something and they probably would have fixed, but I chose not to. They keep worked bottles of water and glasses available to serve yourself if you would like. At the register, if you are dining in, they give you a number on a stand to place on your table and they will serve you when your order is ready. The food is fresh & bursting with flavor – and delight to the taste buds!

The Butternut Bisque wasn’t quite what I expected, but the Farmhouse Cobb salad was fresh and delicious, with fresh vegetables. The turmeric shots were also a nice touch. Ashley, the cashier, provided outstanding customer service, she was friendly, welcoming, and truly made my experience enjoyable, so much so that I returned the same day. The atmosphere was also very pleasant.

Life Alive is that hip healthy crunchy café you usually expect to be turbo expensive and mediocre, but it’s actually fairly priced and the food tastes great. And the vibes are nice. The interior of this location in particular is very cozy. My only wish is that they include more fat free options for their hot drinks! Coconut cream is very high in saturated fat.

Great cafe on the main strip in Salem.
The smoothie was wonderful, the wrap was good (though a bit plentiful with carrots) and the avocado chocolate coconut was interestingly good. Kinda wish they had a cookie but over all a great experience.
Staff were friendly and welcoming.
The pumpkin smoothie was a delightful seasonal surprise.

Live Alive Organic Cafe is a fantastic spot for vegetarians! They were incredibly accommodating of dietary restrictions, including gluten-free, nut-free, and dairy-free options, which was much appreciated. The staff was courteous and friendly, making the experience even better. The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh, vibrant flavors in every dish. The juices were a standout—actually made from fresh ingredients, not just from a bottle. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a healthy, satisfying meal in Salem!

Place was very busy. not too many tables. You will have to sit with others. Long lines but they moved. got the chickpea wrap. Did not have any flavor. The butternut squash soup was pretty good. could have been hot temperature.
